Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
Bone−marrow cells
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
Post-Dose Procedure:
- Clinical observations were conducted daily.
- The animals were weighed and then euthanized by CO2 inhalation.
- Animals from the test, negative, and positive control groups were sacrificed 24 hours after treatment. Additional animals from the test and negative control groups were sacrificed 48 hours after treatment. Immediately after sacrifice, one or both femurs were exposed by appropriate surgical techniques. The bone marrow was collected and placed on a clean, pre−labeled microscope slide. Using a thick plastic cover glass, a fine feather edge smear was prepared and allowed to air dry. The slides were fixed in methanol and stained with Giemsa.
- Scoring:
The treatment and control slides were coded prior to scoring to reduce any possible bias. A total of at least 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) per animal were scored for the presence of micronuclei. The scored elements were the number of micronucleated cells, and not the number of micronuclei. The ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was also determined for each animal by counting corresponding number of normochromatic erythrocytes per 2000 polychromatic cells. Data were collected and presented separately for male and female animals.
Evaluation criteria:
The number of micronucleated PCEs for the positive and negative controls should be in the range of expected historical control values. The frequency of micronucleated PCEs in the positive control group should be statistically significant compared to the negative control group.
If these conditions are not met the test should be repeated.
Statistics:
Data are analyzed separately for male and female animals. The test results are analyzed using a statistical method such as the “t−test” using Graph Pad Prism Software by Analytical Software, Inc. (Analyzing Data with Graph Pad Prism®, Harvey Motulsky). This statistical method determines if there is a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in the incidence of micronucleated cells in the test article group as compared to the negative control group. A dose related response is determined, if appropriate, by a linear regression analysis. Biological and statistical significance is considered in the evaluation.

Positive Dose Response:
The test article is considered to have caused a positive response in the assay if a statistically significant increase in micronucleated PCEs over its concurrent negative control article is observed.

Additional information on results:
Animal weights (prior to dosing and prior to sacrifice), dosing data, and clinical observations were recorded for all the animals during the course of the study.
A total of 23 animals in the negative control control group, 7 animals in the positive control group and 26 animals in the test article group lost an insignificant amount of weight (less than 8%). All other animals gained weight.
No clinical signs of toxicity were observed for any of the test or control animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The USP 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection (NaCl) and Cottonseed Oil (CSO) extracts of the test article were tested at the neat concentration for their ability to induce a statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated erythrocytes in rodent bone marrow. The results showed that neither of the test article extract induced a statistically significant increase in micronucleated erythrocytes as compared to the respective negative controls 24 and 28 hours after dosing. The positive control, Cyclophosphamide (CP), caused a statistically significant increase in micronucleated erythrocytes as compared to the negative controls, validating the functioning of the assay.
Based on the criteria of the study protocol, the test article is considered non-clastogenic, under experimental conditions utilized.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the ability of the test article and/or its metabolites to induce micronuclei in maturing erythrocytes of mice. This procedure is designed to detect damage to the chromosomes or mitotic apparatus caused by the test article.

The study was conducted based upon:

- ISO 10993 -3, 2003, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 3: Tests for Genotoxicity, Carcinogenicity and Reproductive Toxicity.

- OECD 474, Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, "Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test", adopted 21 July 1997.

The study was conformed to the current FDA 21 CFR, Part 58 - Good Lbaboratory Practice for Non-Clinical Laboratory Studies.

The USP 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection (NaCl) and Cottonseed Oil (CSO) extracts of the test article were tested at the neat concentration for their ability to induce a statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated erythrocytes in rodent bone marrow. The results showed that neither of the test article extract induced a statistically significant increase in micronucleated erythrocytes as compared to the respective negative controls 24 and 28 hours after dosing. The positive control, Cyclophosphamide (CP), caused a statistically significant increase in micronucleated erythrocytes as compared to the negative controls, validating the functioning of the assay.

Based on the criteria of the study protocol, the test article is considered non-clastogenic, under experimental conditions utilized.
